Xiaodong Xu; Cheng Jia; Kang Chen; Lijuan Chen – npj Science of Learning, 2025
This study used fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of supernatural fiction, featuring either fictional or realistic characters, compared to real-world stories. Participants' brain activations were recorded while they read supernatural/realistic scenarios. Results showed that…

Pasquale Cardellicchio; Sara Borgomaneri – npj Science of Learning, 2025
The consolidation process stabilizes a new initially labile memory. This consolidation could operate on a shorter timescale during wakefulness after initial motor learning. Within micro-offline learning states, sequences of simple individual actions learned through interleaved practice are condensed into a unified skill through a time-dependent…

Zijun Yin; Bin Xuan; Chengchi Liu; Jingchao Yi; Xiaoyan Zheng; Mingming Zhang – npj Science of Learning, 2025
Previous studies have insufficiently explored the influence of task and interpersonal interdependence on synchronous cooperation behavior. To address this gap, this study utilized fNIRS hyperscanning technique to investigate the behavioral and neural mechanisms within both friend and stranger dyads engaging in various levels of interdependent…

Guoyang Liu; Yueyuan Zheng; Michelle Hei Lam Tsang; Zhao Yazhou; Janet H. Hsiao – npj Science of Learning, 2025
Eye movement patterns and consistency during face recognition are both associated with recognition performance. We examined whether they reflect different mechanisms through EEG decoding. Eighty-four participants performed an old-new face recognition task with eye movement pattern and consistency quantified using eye movement analysis with hidden…

Jiaqi Yin; Haoxin Xu; Yafeng Pan; Yi Hu – npj Science of Learning, 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) driven chatbots provide instant feedback to support learning. Yet, the impacts of different feedback types on behavior and brain activation remain underexplored. We investigated how metacognitive, affective, and neutral feedback from an educational chatbot affected learning outcomes and brain activity using functional…

Chanyuan Gu; Samuel A. Nastase; Zaid Zada; Ping Li – npj Science of Learning, 2025
While evidence has accumulated to support the argument of shared computational mechanisms underlying language comprehension between humans and large language models (LLMs), few studies have examined this argument beyond native-speaker populations. This study examines whether and how alignment between LLMs and human brains captures the homogeneity…
